Re: 2016 Saints Free Agency
Why the heck haven't we tried to sign Louis Vasquez? Is there some injury issue I don't know about?

Kind of wished we had taken a flyer on Matt Slauson after the Bears cut him. A proven vet and QUALITY pass blocker.

At this level of football, potential disaster waiting to happen. |

Re: 2016 Saints Free Agency
The VIKINGS are over stocked @ the OL. Keep an eye on their cuts.
NY (Giants) are pretty weak upfront so there will be competition for any average to good lineman that becomes available. |
